April showers bring...

The first flowers of May - beautiful bergenia in full bloom already. This is the first flower in the perennial bed. Lots of other plants just starting to come up and leaf out.

And the first signs of future crops to come. These are 2 spinach sprouts, planted in mid-April on a warm summery day. Here they are stretching out their seed leaves, and just budding their true leaves after a few days of cold, rain, and even snow. My spinach came up quickly in last spring's cold wet weather too. I think the damp and frost must make them happy!
